I really liked the first book, the magicians nephew the best out of the whole series. I like it the best cz I liked how everything started out in Narnia and i liked it the most because the first book left me curious everytime a chapter ended. I loved the story plot and how everything came to be in Narnia.... I also loved the characters and their personalities in Narnia....... anyhow..... its a gr8 book!!! XD

I love the first one: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, because it's the first and it introduces you to Narnia and to Aslan.
I love The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for a lot of reasons, especially for that island where dreams comes true. At first that sounds great until you realize that means NIGHTMARES from which you can't escape! Then Aslan comes in the form of an albatross, circles around Lucy's head saying "courage, dear heart" and leads them out and away from the island which they couldn't have escaped on their own.
The sixth book - The Magician's Nephew - is great, too, because it shows you how Aslan created Narnia and how evil was introduced into this perfect world.
The Last Battle (the last book) is also wonderful, because it shows the ultimate battle between good and evil
Which is my favorite? I'm not sure, because I actually loved and appreciated them all. To make a decision, I'll go with the book C.S. Lewis intended to be the reader's introduction to the land of Narnia and to Aslan: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
The order below is how some publishers are putting the books today (chronologically). However, the year of publication per book tells you the order in which C.S. Lewis wrote the books and, thus, they order in which he intended them to be read.
The Magician's Nephew (1955)
2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
3. The Horse and his Boy (1954)
4. Prince Caspian (1951)
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
6. The Silver Chair (1953)
7. The Last Battle (1956)
C.S. Lewis' intended order (meaning the order in which he wrote them) and the order in which they'll make the movies (I hope):
1. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (1950)
2. Prince Caspian (1951)
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
4. The Silver Chair (1953)
5. The Horse and His Boy (1954)
6. The Magician's Nephew (1955)
7. The Last Battle (1956)

Actually, the first book in the series - first written and intended to be the first by the author - is "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
It's my favorite because it's the first book in the series that I read. And I also taught it to my fifth grade class.
C.S. Lewis intended for the first book to be The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. It is the first book he wrote and it introduces Narnia. Until quite recently, it was always published as Book 1.
Recently, Lewis's publishers have been printing The Magician's Nephew first, because it is a prequel and takes place earlier in Narnia's chronology. (I suppose they think children will be confused by the skipping around in time.) But it is not particularly meaningful without The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; for example, it tells how the Lamppost came into existence, but if you read it first, you have no reason to notice the Lamppost's significance. It's also a much weaker novel.
The original order is The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; The Horse and His Boy; The Magician's Nephew; The Last Battle.

My favorite is The Horse and His Boy. It starts off completely different with a boy the reader has never met, but it all ties in together. I like how it's set during the reign of the 4 Pevensie children. I love the talking horses and how Bree tells Shasta that in Narnia a boy could belong to a horse, hence the title.
My absolute favorite part though, is when Shasta (Cor) meets Aslan, and Aslan explains that he was the one who saved him as a baby, he was the one who scared away the jackals and acted as a pillow, he was the one that chased the 2 horses together...it's a great picture of how God is there and that things happen for a reason. When the discussion ends, Shasta realizes that he was walking along a cliff, and Aslan kept him from falling. I just love that part.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is my close 2nd favorite. I come from a family of 4 children, so I like that dynamic. Aslan is my favorite character, and the stone table is such a powerful part of the story. If you've never heard it, look up Relient K's "In Like a Lion (Always Winter)". It goes along with the LWW, it's a great song!

My two favorites are The magician's Nephew and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I liked TMN because it told the origin of Narnia and I liked TVDT because it told about what is at the world's end.

I've always liked "The Silver Chair" best. I love Puddleglum, and rescuing the prince from the creepy underground kingdom. The kids are far from perfect--forgetting to recite the instructions and getting snippy with each other and the like--but redeem themselves in the end.

the lion, the witch the wardrobe..it's the good vs evil book..ever has it been obvious compared to the other books...others seem to me were more travails & adventures of the protagonist/s but TLTWTW has some parallelisms between Christ & aslan, his crucifixion & aslan's death...
